This is the fighting fund to help get Brent Johnston elected as a Respect Parish Councillor for the Abbey Hill Parish Council

About the project

My name is Brent Johnston, I was born and raised in Milton Keynes and have lived here for 18 years and have a strong connection with this town.

If you're wondering why I would be the right choice to elect as your Parish Councillor for me it is simple;

I have spent 3 years of my life studying politics but that means nothing without the endless amount of hours I spent canvassing, debating, protesting and standing in numerous elections, I think it is fair to say I have the right experience to be a parish councillor.

Being in a family that was living hand to mouth for many years to then be given a chance through determination and self sacrifice I have lived both sides of the coin but have never lost my working class roots nor my socialist heart, I feel I have the right experience to say I am in touch with the real world.

Each election I have stood, I have learnt something new about myself, politics or elections and I now have a better understanding what it means to truly represent a diverse group and be the voice of my generation.

This is just a little about me, if you'd like to know more then feel free to tweet or email me.

So why do I want to stand? Unfortunately I feel that the Abbey Hill Parish Council are not doing enough for the residents they represent so I have taken it upon myself to bring change.

I have 3 key objectives:

Incorporate everyone into the community

Bring the churches into the fold and part of our events

All ethnic groups making their mark on the communit

Put safety back on the agenda

For everyone to feel safe walking in the streets

To allow for pedestrians to feel safe crossing the road

Offer a real voice of the community to MK Council

Not leaving it up to one individual, but putting the weight of the Parish behind them with every problem

Showing the residents each problem is a Parish Council problem

I hope that just like me you see the potential for change and what can be achieved if we work together, help fund my campaign and we can build a strong Abbey Hill Parish Council together.
